Started up from Loveland Pass TH at 7:30AM. Reached Grizzly via Cupid at 9:17 with crystal skies but 30mph winds all day.
Wanted to do Sniktau but was to weather-beaten, back to the TH at 11:16 with light breeze there. Made the best of it and had a good climb.......Sweet!

CMC BMS routefinding trip. This was my second time on Grizzly. We started around 5AM, went over Cupid and reached Grizzly around 9:15AM. There was some concern about weather (possible PM t'storms) and avalanche danger, but despite some monster cornices on the Divide, we managed to avoid those hazards. The weather cooperated, but it was very windy. We got back to Loveland Pass around 1PM.

Ran up to do this after getting shut down by bottomless slush down lower. Took longer than I thought. So many ups and downs. Quite windy. Started out in marginal conditions, but the skies cleared ten minutes before the summit. Nice!

Very enjoyable, safe winter climb. The wind was pretty unrelenting. Just me mindfull of the cornices to the west. Many false summits on this one with about 750 ft. (seems like more) elevation gain on the descent.

Sorry this is so old but was updating my profile and thought I would add this. Long day, started from Loveland pass in the dark at 5:30 AM. Made good time to the ridge to watch the sunrise. Made the summit around 10:00 AM. Descended to the saddle between Torreys and Grizzly and ascended halfway to Torreys. Had to be back in Denver by 5 so we turned around at 11:30 and made our way back. This is the only time I have gotten AMS bad. Threw up twice on the way back to the pass. Not a fun time, beautiful day though.

Grizzly Peak was a bit more of an endeavor than expected; however, I probably wouldn't have thought so if it weren't for the fact that it was my son's first peak...he's 17 months old and was carried on my back the entire time. After much debate at the class 3 rock outcrop, we did move on and it turned out to be a little less arduous than it looked...but don't be fooled: it is definitely not for the inexperienced hiker. One false move on the final push and you're going for a ride that may land you in the hospital, or worse. Awesome views and no one else on the summit, although we had to hustle down due to clouds building rapidly over the divide. Gotta love Colorado!
